Some personal characteristics play a vital role in the development of one’s intelligence. After a 30-year follow-up study of 8, 000 males, American psychologists found out that the main cause of disparities in intelligence is not intelligence itself, but non-intelligence factors. The so-called “non-intelligence factors” include one’s feelings, will, ___31___, interests and habits.
Though people all know that one should have ___32___ objectives, a strong will and good learning habits, quite a number of teachers and parents don’t pay much attention to ___33___ these factors.
Some parents are greatly worried when their children fail to do well in their studies. They blame either ___34___ factors, malnutrition, or laziness, but they never take into consideration these non-intelligence factors. At the same time, some teachers don’t inquire into these as reasons why students do poorly. They simply give them more courses and exercises, or even ___35___ or laugh at them. After all, these students lose self-confidence. Some of them just feel defeated and give themselves up as hopeless. Others may go astray because they are sick of learning. An investigation of more than 1，000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46. 5 percent of them were afraid of learning because of examination and 36. 4 percent ___36___ persistence, initiative and conscientiousness.
It is clear that the lack of cultivation of non-intelligence factors has been a main obstacle to intelligence development in teenagers. It even causes a(n) ___37___ between physiological and psychological development among a few students.
If we don't start now to ___38___ the cultivation of non-intelligence factors, it will not only obstruct the development of the intelligence of teenagers, but also affect the ___39___ of a whole generation. Some experts have put forward suggestions about how to cultivate students’ non-intelligence factors.
First, parents and teachers should ___40___ understand teenage psychology. On this basic, they can help them to pursue the objectives of learning, exciting their interests and toughening their willpower.
